Weslynn - Strangers [Review]

May 04, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Commercial, Music

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Straightforward lyrics with a guitar-charged melody. The overall sound falls somewhere between Americana and Rock and Roll, but genre isn’t really important when the music is this good.

’Strangers’ is the kind of tune that you find yourself signing along with the chorus by the second time through.”

    Izo FitzRoy - Slim Pickings [Review]

    May 03, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Funk

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “Head nodding funk with a smile.

    That is what this old-school treasure brings to your ears with a groove that will get you moving, and soulful vocals that are pure funk. A 70s vibe and lyrics that ring true in a modern dating world. Get down to ‘Slim Pickings.’”
    — Travis Erwin (LA on Lock Blogger)

    Slim Pickings by Izo FitzRoy, released 02 May 2019 1. Slim Pickings Izo FitzRoy's single 'Slim Pickings' is akin to the sounds of the late 70's. Somewhere between disco, upbeat, soul and funk with a killer groove and some tight production courtesy of Shawn Lee (Ubiquity Records, BBE).

        Rating: 4.5 out of 5

        “Smooth flow and honest, true lyrics that tap into emotions we’ve all felt while simultaneously wondering if the world has passed us by, and if we somehow have already seen and experienced all the best things.

        A groove best sampled while reflecting on life and sipping the adult beverage of your choice.”

          The Graylings - Little Bird [Review]

          May 01, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter, Alternative, Folk

          Rating: 5 out of 5

          “The melody is dark and deep and before the first lyric is delivered, you already feel the emotions.

          The metaphor of the “Little Bird’ is one that will hauntingly speak to anyone that has ever made a personal sacrifice in the name of love, only to eventually realize you clipped your own wings ... for all the wrong reasons.”

              “Amy Loftus takes us on a dreamy trip down the coast with her smooth vocals and twangy vibrations. With a perfect balance between acoustic and electric guitars, Loftus provides intimate lyrics with a bit of a rock edge.

              There is no doubt that a song like this is perfect for a driving around with your hair billowing in the breeze, without a care in the world. ”

                        “The contrast to this single is stark.

                        With a pure pop sound, bordering on bubblegum at times, the tone matches the lyrics in a wry, intentional way that speak of meticulous planning and production.

                        The good girl, from the good family, living on the good block ... yearning to do something, ANYTHING that makes her feel alive rings true here and this single has merit beyond that oh-so-sweet coverings, because it has something real to say. ”

                              “This is a single that relies on the power of vocals, to do the emotional lifting. The melody is secondary to both the lyrics and the delivery in this piece, but the song does not suffer for that fact.

                              Heartfelt and true this one is for the lonely-hearted, the broken-hearted, and all of us that feel our music down deep.”

                                “This track is the musical form of a sassy, tell-you-like-it-is older sister.

                                Emily Chambers delivers ‘Real Talk’ with smooth soul and vocal excellence.”

                                  “Pure Pop fun!

                                  Lyrically this one leaves you singing along and grooving to the melody. Doesn’t hurt that the musical romp also carries a truth that will have the girls playing this one for their guys hoping the message sinks in.”

                                    “Nice bluesy riffs mixed in with with some mellow string play to lend a soulful melody to this track. The guitar does the emotional lifting on this track, and does it well.”

                                      “In a genre that often runs from emotion, or hides it beneath a lush beat, AttaBoy delivers a bouquet of black balloons to a ‘Sad Party’ and does it with both genuine feeling, and a dope beat.”

                                        “Love the way this single builds and builds to the chorus.

                                        Bridging that pop and punk gap, ‘Better Than Ever’ is dark and alluring all at the same time while expressing a defiance that will leave you pumped after listening.”
